Former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is currently scheduled to become the first UFC athlete to enter an arbitration hearing with the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).An arbitration hearing has been scheduled on Oct. 31 in Los Angeles, sources told ESPN. Jones is appealing a USADA sanction, based on a failed drug test he submitted earlier this year.MMAFighting.com first reported Jones hearing.Jones, 29, was removed from a UFC 200 main event title fight against Daniel Cormier in July, several days before the Las Vegas event, due to a potential anti-doping violation.It was later revealed Jones tested positive for clomiphene and traces of letrozole during an out-of-competition drug test. Both are characterized as banned specified substances under the UFCs anti-doping program and carry a maximum one-year suspension.In addition to sanctions from USADA, Jones faces potential discipline from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, due to the fact the fight was scheduled to take place in Las Vegas. The NSAC granted Jones a continuance on his disciplinary hearing earlier this month.Jones (22-1) has denied all wrongdoing in the positive test. One day after being pulled from UFC 200, he held an emotional press conference in Las Vegas in which he stated, To this day, Im extremely against performance enhancers.Jones team has been in the process of clearing his name, although have not publicly divulged details on the effort since the press conference. His management team did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the arbitration hearing.Widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet, Jones is still the UFCs interim 205-pound champion. He was the undisputed light heavyweight titleholder from 2011 to 2015, but was stripped by the promotion last year due to legal issues.According to the UFC programs arbitration rules, a decision is to be rendered within 30 days of the hearing.

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- Baseballs Hall of Fame has again revamped its veterans committees, attempting to increase consideration for more contemporary players, managers, umpires and executives.Under the change announced Saturday by the Halls board of directors, there will be separate committees for Todays Game (1988-2016), Modern Baseball (1970-87), Golden Days (1950-69) and Early Baseball (1871-1949). Todays Game and Modern Baseball will vote twice every five years, Golden Days once every five years and Early Baseball once every 10 years.There are twice as many players in the Hall of Fame who debuted before 1950 as compared to afterward, and yet there are nearly double the eligible candidates after 1950 than prior, Hall chair Jane Forbes Clark said in a statement. Those who served the game long ago and have been evaluated many times on past ballots will now be reviewed less frequently.Todays Game will vote in 2016, `18, `21, and `23, and Modern Baseball in 2017, `19, `21 and `23. Golden Days will vote in 2020 and `25, and Early Baseball in 2020 and `30. The Halls Historical Overview Committee will decide which committee will consider those who span eras, based on the time or place of their most indelible impression.Since 2010, the Hall had established three veterans committees: Pre-Integration Era (1871-1946), Golden Era (1947-72) and Expansion Era (1973-2016). No one was elected by the Pre-Integration Era committee in December.In addition, the Hall eliminated the one-year waiting period between a players last appearance on the Baseball Writers Association of America ballot and his veterans committee debut for consideration. The Hall also saidd active executives 70 or older may be given consideration, up from 65.dddddddddddd.Committees will remain at 16 people, with a vote of at least 75 percent needed for election. The ballot size will be 10 for each committee; it had been 12 for Expansion Era and 10 for the others.The BBWAA votes on players who have been retired for at least five years and no more than 15. Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza are to be inducted Sunday.The Hall also changed some of the rules for the Ford C. Frick Award, presented annually to a broadcaster for major contributions to baseball. The committee making the annual decision will consider a three-year cycle of Current Major League Markets (team-specific announcers) for the 2017 award, National Voices for 2018 and Broadcasting Beginnings (early team voices and pioneers) for 2019.Since 2013, the Fricks three-year cycle had been High Tide Era (mid-1980s to present), Living Room Era (mid-1950s to mid-1980) and Broadcasting Dawn Era (before mid-1950s).The criteria will be commitment to excellence, quality of broadcasting abilities, reverence within the game, popularity with fans, and recognition by peers instead of longevity; continuity with a club; honors, including national assignments such as the World Series and All-Star Games; and popularity with fans.The Frick ballot size will be reduced from 10 to eight, and the three ballot spots previously determined by fan voting will be decided by historians.Ozzie Smith, inducted to the Hall in 2002, was voted to the Halls board of directors.
